Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., wants all state legislatures to enact "voter identification and signature verification" laws.

The New York lawmaker made his request on Twitter, tweeting:

"Voter identification and signature verification should be enacted by every state legislature in the nation. Ballot harvesting and widespread, no excuse mail in balloting should not. Everyone who thinks otherwise is telling you a lot about where they stand on ballot integrity."

States have different laws that help verify voters' identities. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 36 states have laws on the books that require voters to show a form of identification at the polls. Other states check voter identity via signature verification or by providing personal information.
